“…and sent him homewards….”

The BBC have a debate going in their “have your say” section about whether we Scots should support our neighbours in the World Cup.

I agree with Gordon’s post on the subject. (*oops, forgot the link…!*)My bottom line (that sounds rude, doesn’t it) is: who cares? People will support who they want to [...]

Stupid Sidebar

I’ve been fiddling with things I shouldn’t have and now i’ve gone and broken my template. For some reason, when I have “show full posts on front page” selected, my sidebar leaps from its usual spot *ahem* AT THE SIDE and sets up home at the bottom.

Supermarket Swept

I have been a bit of a boring blogger in general, mainly because it’s lovely and sunny outside, so [...]

Flowers Where? I Don’t Think So!

Ok, so it’s probably going to become a bit of a bandwagon to go on about it… I know the same happened with AlanisĀ (and while I’m on the subject, why does Ed bloody Byrne get the credit for flagging this one… I remember playground discussions about it long before he started telling Fringe audiences all [...]
